Does your home have air conditioning? How often does your HVAC unit need maintenance? Who do you call when you need a technician to look at your HVAC unit?
HVAC units have to work hard year-round and many problems can occur as a result of this.
Keep reading to learn more about why your heating system is blowing cold air and what to do next:
Cold Air From Thermostat Issues
Your first instinct may be to look to your HVAC unit when you are having issues with your seating system blowing out cold air but another probable source is your thermostat. The issue could be something as simple as it needs new batteries or more complicated involving links to the power supply in your home.
Cleaning the thermostat and checking to ensure it is receiving enough power to function is important to check before moving on to your HVAC unit.
Check Your Filter
Dirty air filters can cause a variety of HVAC issues. If the filter is clogged, warm air will not be able to pass through it and travel throughout the home to heat it.
While replacing your air filters should be a consistent maintenance activity, they can get debris in them quickly and should be checked for proper airflow. It is always a good idea to have an extra filter on hand in case you need to change it.
Ductwork
You may think that your ductwork is working because air is flowing into your home but the cold air could be coming from outside.
Checking to be sure that your ductwork is attached and there are no holes, leaks, or damage is important because a small leak could send the heat outside and be pulling in the cool air instead. Fixing this will allow the warm air to go directly from the HVAC unit to the vents without escaping elsewhere.
